A late addition to the Smash Muay Thai 2 card has been announced in Alexis Rufus Vs. Kate Stables who are among the United Kingdom’s best Muay Ying.Both have been matched hard in the past and both have put in some intense training time in Thailand. Kate comes from the Bad Company gym of Leeds, UK which is the home of Lisa Houghton Smith who at this point has to be considered a legend among international Female Thaiboxers. As with typical fighters of Bad Company Kate was matched tough and matched often in her professional fight career and will definitely be looking to leave an impression in her fight against Alexis Rufus.
